There's been a lot of discussion about how to communicate uncertainty about vaccines/transmission, guidance for vaccinated people, how to increase vaccine demand/address hesitancy, & what vaccines mean for the "end" of the pandemic.
Here are my thoughts. I call it "the well."

Let\u2019s say (and we don\u2019t know this yet) the vaccines decrease asymptomatic transmission.

Whether they achieve that by day 14, 28, or 42 is a matter of great importance and public safety.
Whether/when they \u2935\ufe0f it by 50%, 75%, or >90% is also life-and-death matter.
Too nuanced?
Most of the vaccines under development or authorized at least partially protect against infection & reduce replication (see URT and LRT protection columns)

Since the conversation today is about whether vaccines are being undersold, let me hype you up once again with my thread about how all the current vaccines look great and you should get whichever one you can as soon as you can https://t.co/HBd4NQ41xl

Eddie describes his ideology as "Esoteric Hitlerism" which is an occult form of Nazism that literally worships Adolf Hitler as a god, or, specifically, as an incarnation of the Hindu God Vishnu. Here is Ed holding the RigVeda with some of his occult Nazi pals. Interesting Ed!

Much of this ideological insight was gained from Eddie's Twitter, where he originally used his "Carl Jung" persona and reposts explicit neo-fascist content and racist memes. In one edited picture, Eddie can be seen at an NSC event in late June 2020 holding a Nazi Sonnenrad flag
